During Zach Bryanās second of two Philly shows on Wednesday, the country star was joined by Bruce Springsteen to deliver a surprise duet of āAtlantic Cityā and their collaboration track, āSandpaper.ā
āAtlantic Cityā was written by Springsteen and first appeared on his 1982 solo album, Nebraska. More than 10 year laters, The Band covered the song in 1993 for their LP, Jericho. When taking the stage on Wednesday, Bryan and Springsteen sang the iconic chorus: āEverything dies, baby thatās a fact/But maybe everything that dies some day comes back/Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty/And meet me tonight in Atlantic City.ā
The pair were later joined by the Lumineers for a rousing performance of āRevival,ā which Bryan usually plays to close out shows on his Quittinā Time tour.
In March, during a Brooklyn stop, Springsteen made a surprise appearance to perform the then-unreleased song āSandpaperā with Bryan during the encore. Springsteen and the track feature on Bryanās new album,Ā The Great American Bar Scene, which released in July.
The single opened at Number 26 on Billboardās Hot Country Songs chart, landing Springsteen his first-ever country hit. The song also debuted at 71 on the Hot 100 chart, marking the Bossā first appearance on the chart since āWorking On a Dreamā in 2009.Ā
Apart from Springsteen, other high-profile guests onĀ The Great American Bar SceneĀ include John Mayer, roots duo Watchhouse, Canadian country singer Noeline Hoffman, and Oklahoma singer-songwriter John Moreland.
Mayer, who contributed guitar to āBetter Days,ā shared his appreciation for Bryan following the albumās release. āI always knew this song Zach wrote was special,ā Mayer wrote on X. āI had no idea how beautiful, powerful and deep an album it would be part of. Iām stunned.ā
